Finba is a dwarf who makes model trains in a small shop that buys model trains. It may be due to the sympathy of the old black friend Henry. After the accidental death of the old Henry, he left an old station in Fenba called Xintiandi. So Fenba left the bustling city and came to a peaceful new world. For a dwarf who is often discriminated against, this place may be more suitable for him, although he is always unsmiling, and he does not show a special preference. But we can feel that Fenba wants to live alone in such a quiet place, and doesn't want others to disturb him, and doesn't want to enter other people's lives, just like this for a lifetime. But life did not proceed according to plan and imagination. Fortunately, the life behind Fenba was not bad. Opposite the station, Joe, an enthusiastic and cheerful boy, temporarily watched the dining car for his sick father. He may have become accustomed to urban life. He seemed lonely and unbearable here. He wanted to be friends with Fenba, but Fenba did not accept him very much; middle-aged Olivia, a female painter who lost her son, almost hit Finba twice because of her mediocre car skills. She apologized and helped Finba several times. At first, Finba was indifferent and refused; the innocent and lovely black girl Clio regarded him as her. The same person asked him to speak at school; and the hot girl Emily from the library was emotionally disappointed and regarded him as the object of her confession. Fenba, who was slowly turning away thousands of miles away, began to contact with friends, began to smile, and started to watch the train with Joe, walked the railway with Joe and Olivia, and the three of them chatted easily, as if they had all found them. The sustenance of the soul. Fenba's closed heart began to open, and he could care about others, drink in bars, and give lectures to children at school. Olivia was also infected by Finba and Joe, and walked out of the shadow of bereavement.
The film is very delicate, very slow, without any big ups and downs, but it makes people feel very warm after watching it. Some details are very moving. For example, when Finba and Olivia ate for the first time, Olivia said, “Let’s not think about finding something to say, just eat”, and more empathetic words. When Emily’s boyfriend pestered Emily, Fenba wanted to help Emily, but asked Emily’s boyfriend to gently push away. Fenba’s arms were shaken in the air, which was strong for him. , But it didn't help Emily.
I think the movie may tell that everyone in life needs care and everyone needs friendship, whether it is a healthy person or a disabled person. There may be too many unsatisfactory things in life, sometimes the trauma of the soul needs to comfort each other, and the next stop is happiness.
